Delay of game

The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed one of Virginia’s growing economic drivers: sports tourism.

Virginia Tech prepares to grow computer science grads

The state is investing nearly $1 billion in technology education, and Virginia Tech will be the largest recipient — along with bearing responsibility for producing more than 16,000 computer science degree-holders over the next two decades. Gov. Ralph Northam announced in November that 11 state colleges and universities will receive $961.5 million through the commonwealth’s […]
